8 to 8.1 to 10

[bassfisher6522]

My daughters laptop is 5 years old. It came with windows 8. I want to upgrade it to Windows 10. I have a 8.1 upgrade PK. So If I change the PK on laptop to the 8.1 key.....will that allow me up update to 8.1. If it does, then I can upgrade from 8.1 to 10.

Will this work?

You don't need to change, Win8 usually had an embedded license and an Upgrade to Win10 has always found that for me and given a digital license. I just tell the install I don't have a Product Key. I did have a couple of Win8 that wanted updated to Win8.1 first.

I would just use the Media Creation Tool and "Update now" then you won't need to worry about a key!.
